For those that lost their patience in downloading the animation… wait…
it is definitely worth it!
(I have a Meg per sec speed, and it took mine over an hour to download)

The closer details revealed in the animations renders were FANTASTIC Valery!

Unfortunately there was a serious amount of what we call “the Blink Factor” that simply makes your viewers blink per passage from a scene to another scene.
But none the less that is video editing… as a designer/modeller and a texture painter… you have done YOUR part of the deal as good as it gets.

Congratulations!

My only prayer for you on this challenge is for the jury to not harshly think in the lines of:
“[color=lemonchiffon]This could have been from any Sci-Fi story…” or similar.[/color]
Because it is a Fantastic scene and all your hard work shows.
(Actually I liked the earlier, less saturated renders… this last one looks too much Story Book to compare)

BlackPs: Thanks for the tip about texturing with Vectors!!!I cant believe I never thought of that! Though I HAVE used it a lot for signs and text textures. Guess its time to put my illustrator skills to a challenge after this project is over with.

Hi GREAT WORK you v done here. Ithink is nothing to wory about the scince fiction thing,because EON is a science fiction book.As I seen you are the only one who finish the models and the small trailer at the same time.I like the way you modeling because is base on lowpoly and you think more than a model base,you have perspective of a project,that skill you have make you one of the best modeler I v seen.

Valery - well it has taken forever to download this but I’m really happy I let it go on! Excellent job with lighting and the space ships :bounce: Not too keen on all those cuts - pissed me off - but I understand you can’t go on rendering forever All in all - sweet! That ship can fly :buttrock:

Video gives a great feeling of size, please, please, please get rid of the cheesy music, as soon as possible and just add a deep rumbling sound and whooshing noises, hand-made if you like, ANYTHING BUT THAT MUSIC!!! (please)

Brilliant modelling, textureing etc, all been said before by everyone, such an immense scene could only be put together by an immense talent like yours.

Really awesome man, but i must ask, whats with the gai music… I mean it sounds like some 80ish bladerunner happy scene or something…

We want roar, we want brrr, we want aaahhhhh. now thats some real effects. try watching a space film trailer or some great film trailer, the tension is getting higher by seconds and at the end its aahhh or bum and then switch to the eon screen

seeing your wire makes it obvious just how little detail there is in the modelling - don’t get me wrong, it’s still a huge undertaking - but you HAVE to give us a tutorial on texturing, to get the kind of detail we BELIEVE we’re seeing in that image.
The sheer volume of lights must’ve taken it’s strain on render times, but just how large are your textures?!!! Out of interest, what’s your poly count?
